2. Problems
The Problem with Society
The Affected
Affected
Scarred
Our final idea for our film title is ‘Affected’ as
our feedback shows the audience feel as
‘Affected’ is most interesting.
3. We chose ‘Social realism’ as our genre. This is because
we asked our target audience and they decided for us
that the best genre is ‘Social realism’ because as they
are teenagers they are able to relate to the characters
stories. Our group also thought this would be best genre
as we will be able to make it look professional as it is
based on people at our age, so we would be able
connect with the characters. Also we could make it look
more professional rather than horror because we are
able to get the equipment whereas with horror we are
unable to make it realistic.
4. We based our film to teenager girls(13-19), this
is because we feel as girls will be able to
connect more with the characters rather then
boys will, this is because they have a softer part
inside them rather then a boy and would feel
more hurt after the film. Whereas boys would
not take the story serious.
5. Our final plot, we needed 3 different
storylines for 3 different characters as our
audience target thought it would be best
to base it on more than one character. We
decided that the three storylines would
be: a character being bullied, a character
who is going through an eating disorder
and the last one is a character who is
being cyber bullied.
6. In our 2 minute opening scene we are going to make sure the
audience know what our genre is, which is social realism: we thought
that we would be able to make the film look professional as it would be
based on teenagers. We decided to base the story line of 3 main
characters, where one character is bullied, another character has an
eating disorder and the third character is suicidal.
In our opening scene the audience will find out little parts of the three
characters. The first character you will meet will be the character which
is getting bullied, the film will only show her getting bullied over the
internet will horrible messages. The second character will be the one
committing suicide, the part you will see is her trying to jump off a high
building however her little brother stops her. The final character would
be the one with the eating disorder, all you will see of her is her
throwing her dinner in the bin. Finally, you will see all the characters in
a meeting which is there to help them with their problems.
In the opening it will include: opening billing; such as the characters
names, who is the producer, director, editor and camera person.
7. Eating Disorder – Hafsah Zaman
Suicide – Rakha Tewany and Harv Wilkhu
Bullying – Zeba Zaman
8. Eating Disorder – In a house, in the kitchen of
the house as it shows her throwing away food.
Suicide – Based on top of a high building such
as the Library in town, as it makes the audience
feel the character is going to jump of the
building so builds up the tension.
Bullying – In a house, based filming on a
laptop, as it shows the character getting bullied
over the internet (cyber-bullying)
9. We decided on these decisions as we got help
from our target audience. Our target audience
was help to us when we were planning because
they responded on what they would enjoy best
to watch and what interests them the most.
However our group also helped on the planning
because we worked together and thought about
what sounded best, and what would attract the
most amount of people. We thought of it as if it
was in the cinemas would we watch it.
